Daniel gave me a great haircut and is super nice! Although not cheap, definitely go to this salon if you want to leave with a superb haircut it's worth it. Will be back soon

I have no doubt that David James is full of talented hair artists, but this review is for Ashley. I ONLY HAVE POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY.
This was my first time getting my hair bleached/lightened in years and Ashley was so knowledgeable about my hair's possibilities and restraints. She was super communicative, asking lots of questions about what I was looking for as well as relaying realistic expectations about what we could accomplish. When I came in for the actual appointment, we talked over my reference pictures and she went right to work.
In this case, I wanted a blonde halo (where the whole bottom layer plus some hair that frames the face is bleached). It took about 4 hours (as she predicted) and the process was seamless. Ashley made the time fly by - she's a blast to talk to. And she clearly knew what she was doing!
I love my new hair and would encourage anyone to go to Ashley for any coloring needs!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tokyo W.San Francisco, CA05Mar 29, 2024
My mother Anastasia rivas works here, she is amazing at what she does and anyone can get their hair done by my mommy.

:/ Sad :( ... I was very happy with them and I've been going there for 5 years, until they charged me $90 for a service (Ashley) when I could not make it 10 min after the appointment (first time I'm late). Also they were asking me for tip for a service I did not receive. Very sad .... :(
Sorry :/ btw love Sabrina and Daniel! :/Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2Business owner information

ASHLEY ASHLEY ASHLEY!!!!!!!
Ashley is my hero. Thank goodness for social media because that's how so was able to get connected to her after my precious go-to left the city.
I typically need to pop in every 8ish weeks to touch up my roots. I'm a chocolate brown with lots of ambers in my hair so it's always a challenge to have a solid color.
Ashley listened to my needs and also had helpful feedback, as I mentioned I may want to go lighter this summer.
Delicate touch, charismatic, skillful, and all around a gem. Really looking forward to my journey with Ashley!Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 2 - Jun 18, 2022
I've had many haircuts ranging from mediocre to okay, with one or two great haircuts in between.This was probably one of the first times I've had a better than great haircut with Sabrina! I always struggle to get volume on my heavy straight hair and Sabrina took lots of time to explain why and what shapes and styling tips would help me get my desired look. I appreciate that she took a more conservative approach with the length and layers as I explained I have my upcoming wedding ceremony to prepare for. I loved the look she came up with, and she wielded her razor with ease (I have had razored haircuts in Asia where the hair just becomes more thin and flat...). I am already looking forward to booking with her again :)

Sabrina is AMAZING I love how my hair turned out!! I only get my hair cut maybe once a year at most and haven't found a stylist that I am devoted to. A few of my friends have gone to see Sabrina and upon scrolling through her IG really fell in love with her work.
Sabrina really listened to what I was looking for and worked her magic on my thin hair. She shortened my bangs, added some face framing pieces, and a ton of volume to the top of my head. I really appreciated all of her helpful tips for styling my new hair and trimming the bangs. I had a wonderful experience overall, Sabrina was very personable and full of energy, great vibes can't wait til my next visit!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Alison M.San Francisco, CA1016Nov 18, 2022
S A B R I N A. What can I say. She is nothing short of LIFE CHANGING. I know, I know, such a cliche say thing to say. A haircut changed my life... say less.
Hear me out, until I met Sabrina, I lived my entire life believing this lie that I had thin hair, not enough volume, it had to be straightened all the time, etc etc. So much so that I just cut my own hair most of the time.
She not only completely rebuked all of those lies in less than an hour, she changed the entire shape of my hair, and let my natural waves finally come out to party... she gave me a bunch of pro tips on how to style, what product to use (without ever being too salesy or preachy).
She's incredibly knowledgeable and speaks the language of hair that I've never experienced before. She made the entire process so enjoyable. Definitely do not sleep on her.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Katie K.San Francisco, CA06Aug 30, 2023
Sabrina is fantastic. She is truly an artist who loves hair and is so incredibly knowledgable. It's clear that this is her passion. It's been wonderful learning from her and she's so great at really hearing what it is you're looking for. She also makes your hair look amazing. Highly recommend. Just a great person and a great experience!

You know, I had always thought that hair couldn't be alive,but I swear Sabrina touched my hair and it's alive now--every day. Before I visited we were deep into covid my hair was long and straight, flat. Every day I looked in the mirror it just felt like I was wearing a sock on top of my head. Sabrina gave my strands the ability to *move, dance, frame and shape*
My hair with heat styling is incredible, without styling is equally incredible in a different way. I'm truly blessed to be able to have amazing hair days *every single day because of Sabrina.* (PS She's also the sweetest. Makes you feel comfortable, has great conversation and an incredible personality. Worldly, well rounded and genuinely cares.)
You know the Sailor Moon transformation scene where she goes from regular person to sailor moon? That's how getting a haircut from Sabrina feels like every time. Sit back and please let her do her magic. She's got a vision and she knows how to transform you every time. Let her have the reigns and you'll be the lucky one to experience her magic!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
